Being a beginner it would be nice to have this information explained in the manual or at least in a FAQ on the website as I'm sure this lack of information has been frustrating for at least one other newbie besides myself. Maybe this info is included with cheaper radios however, I doubt it. I think its hard enough getting into the hobby trying to learn things and spending money on this that and the other. I myself have not found many people to be open to new members or caring enough to pass the hobby down to new people so you might say I am a little bitter or have gotten off on the wrong foot because I know there are those folks out there who are eager to help newbies learn etc... I have met a few here. So, please for us new people, try to beef up the instructions so even a dummy can understand.
